NBA player Jason Collins, who was a special guest in First Lady Michelle Obama’s box at the State of the Union address on Tuesday night, was asked by TMZ to share his thoughts on sitting a mere 20 feet away from Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson.

CNN reports that the son of controversial patriarch Phil Robertson was "the man of the hour" for numerous Republican congressional leaders, who lined up in droves for a photo op with the reality star. Robertson was the guest of Louisian Rep. Vance McAllister.

New poster boy for I am a bigot. Pics with him is like holding a bigot sign without verbaizing it audibly. They choose nonverbal expression instead.

I'm still waiting for the NBA to sign him. What's going on with that, please?

More like "Dork Dynasty"!

I do not understand why he is not a NY Knick. They could not only use his skills, but having him in NYC would be amazing. The Nets could also sign him, although I am still crushing on Brook Lopez and long for his return.

Anyway, once he returns, I want a photo of Blake Griffin dunking on him. I would masturbate to that photo for years.

(I'd be OK with a Lopez-on-Collins dunk too, but not quite as exciting as Blake.)

Betty, sports are the best free porn. Even better than RedTube.

Knicks won't sign Collins because of homophobe bigots in ownership/management. No names. don't have to. (D-O-L-A-N)
